I am syndicated. Show me some respect. When I was a kid, I wanted to be the Mexican Louis Armstrong. They would've called me: Dirty Satchmo.

Women in the games industry already have to put up with a lot, but we shouldn’t have to do it alone. Men in the industry: if you see one of your fellow men doing behaving this way towards a woman at a professional conference, please speak up and tell them to CUT IT OUT.
I hope things in our industry change for the better in the future. I will not allow anyone to feel this way again.

I agree, but we also have to acknowledge how many Indigenous journalists that currently exist and remain unemployed or dependent upon freelance work because of discriminatory hiring practices in newsrooms. Even when hired, Indigenous journalists have to fight to cover Indigenous beats.
Nelson Bird started his career in news in 1998 as a video journalist, producer & host of Indigenous Circle before becoming the assignment editor at CTV News Regina.

On tonight's episode of Face to Face he talks about his experience with the industry.

This is good.
I love grants. I wish we had more. Things like this remind me that lots of people in comics (and elsewhere) are pushing for things to be better from a variety of angles.
check out these critics and dig into some comics:
I'm so excited to announce the recipients of this year's Comics Criticism Mini Grant. Congrats to Chad Nevett, Steve Baxi, Emmy Waldman, and Samantha Puc for their amazing work in comics criticism this year!

Listen: there's a time and place for AI.

He is bad
...if you're a trans person who speaks out about how horrible Newsom is on trans issues, you get *flooded* with ppl telling you to "vote blue no matter who". to which I say: fuck you! would you vote for a politician who says he wants to roll back your rights? www.erininthemorning.com/p/why-transg...

It just struck me that newspaper comic strips were sort of proto-posting: you come up with a joke every single day and eventually you either mellow out or become completely insane

Stop misrepresenting what LLMs are. They can’t betray you. They don’t think, they don’t feel, they aren’t sentient.

I have empathy for someone who is hurting but it’s so severely irresponsible to report on it this way. It further normalizes the thinking that an LLM can have personhood. Come on
